Blimey, you're doing well on the parts finds/prices! [] What colour will you repaint?

 

[TAFFY944]

yeah i've had a couple of lucky finds [8D] i'm going black again...or maybe a full carbon wrap []

Hi Taffy Love what you are doing to the old girl, will be good to see finished project and final cost! Keep her black though they look superb when nice and shiny, don't do the crap wrap thing.........please

 

[Mike_Pollock]

Love it! Keep it going, lots of effort and enterprise going into it, looking forward to the video on some of those Welsh roads!

Agree on going black. Wrapping IMO doesn't suit the 944, but I it's your car and your choice. However, I feel it's the sort of thing that will date quickly and if you ever wish to sell the car limit your audience. Black, new, fresh paint all polished up, well it's just [8D]

ORIGINAL: Diver944

ORIGINAL: TAFFY944 i had to settle for a £250 capri when i was 17 but always wanted a 944

The sad thing is a good Capri will cost you £££££ more than a 944 these days [:-]

I know, I love Capri's having had 3 of them but any 944 is beter than any Capri ever produced apart from perhaps a Tickford, and even then a 944 Turbo is a better car, the 944 is undervalued, they make a Capri look old, slow and ponderous, there was a reason they were twice as expensive new, think there is more nostalgia from Capri owners/admirers, 944 owners were probably more wealthy and just moved on and now probably drive a BMW 640 or Lexus, just another car in the history.
